Ososlo (Catching up on your log.......I've only now realised how this username reads......for the last 15 months I've only been wondering what the he'll is your connection to the capital of Norway).
Anyway. Yanno what.....this place is great.....to a point. Fantastic place for encouragment and motivation. But I have learned it can become a hinderance to progress at times.....like when you're injured, and motivation to go out running becomes a bad thing. That's why I've disappeared off here for the last 3 weeks or so (you BETTER have noticed).......You see loads of people making great progress and you become so desperate to try and keep up, you can find it harder and harder to keep your patience with an injury and you could quickly start finding it becoming counter productive being here coz you badly want to report good progress of your own in your own log. That's my experience anyway....and Im only starting to come back here now that Im doing well again.
The other thing is....as you know......VERY important to get the right physio. Your issues sound very like mine but not as bad (hopefully). Sounds like you'll be grand in no time.....if you keep patience.....and take a sabbatical from this place if it is making it harder to.0 -
I'm back:D Couldn't be happier at this moment.
3 completely pain free miles at an "I couldn't care less how slow they were pace" but no twinges, no pain, nothing!
Skipped work for the afternoon, did a 30 minute A.I.S. session and headed off. Never been so nervous going on a run before! Ran very gingerly for the first mile but relaxed into it after a bit and thoroughly enjoyed it:D
I still can't believe I felt so good.
If this is down to A.I.S. then it's a little piece of magic but I've only been doing it 5 days so that might be a silly thing to say but I stopped doing the physio exercises at the same time as I felt they were making me worse and giving me extra issues like a sore hip. She was trying to get me in for 2 sessions every week for the next 5/6 weeks:eek:
I'll tread extremely carefully for the next few runs and all going well we'll take it from there:D0 -

Woohoo! Good news but gently does it, don't get carried away and do too much too soon.0 -

With all due respect Gavlor I don't think you're right here. I know my body very well in relation to running at this point and know that I can handle mileage very well as long as it's low level effort. I would have done similar running streaks last year when I was even newer to running and there was never a problem. I run my recovery runs easier than most (up to 3.5 min per mile slower than my 5k race pace) and when I added in the extra day per week that was even slower at times.
The problem for me was undoubtedly the hills and especially the hill sprints along with the interval work on the flat, but especially the hills. That's obviously where my weak spot is - the glutes - as these are being worked (excessively) for the first time in my running life so I'm currently working on strengthening these up.
2 physios said similar to me.
Fair enough.... I'll get my graphic designers working on the "I told you so" sign
It's too early on a Saturday for this!!0 -

Not one niggle from February 2013 to February 2014 and not one day's running missed due to 'niggles' whilst running 6/7 days a week up to 55 miles a week as a newbie.
I'll say no more;)0 -
keeping with the series, this is how to release you glutes. I use a sliotar for this when it is really bad instead of a foam roller. PS you have to replace your foam roller like once a year if you use it a lot (something tells me you do). I have the grid also but the foam roller is better.0 -
